How to Add or Remove Top Menus for Vanilla Forums

You may find you want to change your top menu by adding, deleting or re-arranging your menus. We did this in our custom-made theme, which is a recommended practice. We don’t recommend to ever edit default core files for any script you work with.

Below, we use yourtheme for the name of the theme. Substitute that for the actual name of the theme you made.

Create a custom theme. (this is very easy to do so don’t be intimidated by the sound of it)

Once you have your theme, open the themes/yourtheme/views/default.master.tpl file in your favorite editor. (We use either Brackets, Notepad++, NetBeans, or Komodo)
